Spartan-Logistics

A good portion of the insulation side employees are on some form of substance while performing work duties  I’m not here to hate bash the company in general because it really wasn’t a bad company before certain individuals made work difficult with the he said she said and the constant drama from everyone talking bad about each other and forced a lot of other individuals to reach out for other jobs, not care, and practically just point out or become enraged and helpless due to poor upper managements skills to handle these issues nor care to handle them. So word to the wise if you actually enjoy a job that has rules, regulations, and abide by the employee handbook for all employees instead of a select few getting special treatment and professionalism in you’re work environment then this particular spartan warehouse is NOT for you. But this is my own review and my own personal experience from this place.  If you have a better one, then great glad to hear it. Just keep in mind I worked my butt off to make it here, and get bumped up in the company to only see the negative effects and repercussions from it. 

P.S I was never wrote up once from the entire time I was here. I was Fired the same day because of rumors in warehouse and my “Facebook post” As I was coming in to fill out my last PTO hours and put my week notice in because I just got confirmation that I had orientation the next week from my new job. So fair warning watch who you talk to, keep your head down and just show up to work and you may make it.

It was fine when I joined back in 2020. But overtime, the place got worse and worse. The physical labor was fine and I made a lot of money, but every day was an utter annoyance. Whether it was training new people, repeated whining and moaning about the other shifts, the long hours riding around on a forklift, or dealing with all the trucks. This place was a pain to work at. When I transitioned from laborer to dock auditer, on my off time, the floor manager had us go down the aisles and find and clean up all the mistakes left by the other shifts. And boy, there were a lot of them!! Bags of seeds with huge holes in them, seed boxes with holes in them, palettes stacked where ever, sometimes in the wrong lane! The only good things about this job were the friends I met. They got me through this train wreck of a job. Other than that, I utterly hated this place and you probably will too. Oh, and shout-out to those idiots I had to work with who went to go smoke weed in their cars whenever some actual work came around.

The pay is only $9 an hour for a order selector, but Through the incentive program you can make on average $14 to $18 an hour. For a warehouse job, really isn't that bad. The people there are cool, no problems when it comes to co-workers. The warehouse manager is  down to earth, But can be a little weird. Likes to follow people to the bathroom (I guess to see if there stealing) and always trying to be right there telling you how to do your job, when you are well aware how to perform it. Overall as a supervisor is alright. The only real bad part, is your working no matter what 50+ hours a week (forgot to mention a fast paced job). Most people will actually like that for the money, but I rather have more time.

Poor management. Csr on certain shifts acts like the boss. Certain supervisors do what the csrs tell them so yea extremely poor management. Coworkers will lie about you even the supervisors. Supervisors never want to handle problems themselves so they have the Gm do it. Gm only listens to supervisors side of the story and don’t care for the employees and don’t even try to improve.  The work schedule is decent that’s a pro. Pay is good that’s a pro. Job is easy . But the poor management and horrible csr on the weekend night shift makes this job horrible. Do not work here . Very untrustworthy place to work. Unless your a mute. 

Typical day consists of billing, invoicing, retrieving files from the State of Ohio DOLC, inventory, receipts, office ordering, customer service, answering phone lines, and scheduling inbound deliveries.   

I am the only person who works in the office.  There are 
5-7 employees that work out in the warehouse as pickers.  They are a fun group of young men to work with.

The hardest part of the job was the beginning.  Learning everything and how the operation worked, and learning how to handle the work load by myself.

The most enjoyable part of my job is when vendor representatives  come in throughout the day to pick up samples or vendor pick ups.

The managers, supervisors, and fellow co workers made the day enjoyable. The atmosphere was a light stressful work day, the crew was "all for one and one for all", team and if one was slacking another would step in and lend a hand. The management team was very understanding in personal situations and gave compassion if employee was going through personal life problems. And if employee needed to transfer they would do the absolute most to accommodate to the needs if possible. I had a death in family and the company was very understanding and very compassionate with my loss. 

As far as the work goes, I like most of what I do here. But as far as management, to get anywhere you have to be one of the favorites and part of the clique. If you go against that, they will try and find ways to get rid of you. Also they try and force mandatory Saturday and Sunday after you've already agreed upon a different schedule. If you need a job right away, then I would take it, but if you have other options I would look into those.
